After an ultra-tense jaw dropping shoot out Mark O’Halloran emerged as the victor in the first hotly contended Brixham Archers Winter League. Will Wetherall came a very close second and John Read took the bronze medal after losing to Will on count backs with 10s (9&9) and then 9s (12&11). Chris was disappointed not to receive one of the nice medals particularly has he had bought them. Whilst Mark was happy to take away the glass trophy he himself had selected to suit his home décor.
The semi-final was keenly contested with scores recorded as follows
Mark O’Halloran 229
Paul Allan 221
Chris Boulton 219
Brian Le Badge 216
Sharon Hill 214
Kane Kennedy 209
The finals followed with Jerry and Paul disappointingly pulling out due to ‘equipment failure!’
Mark O’Halloran 228
John Read 223
Will Wetherall 223
Chris Boulton 215
Jerry Handyside retired
Paul Allan retired
Sharon and Brian were pleased with their achievements in reaching the finals whilst Kane must surely be kicking himself having elected to shoot compound rather than longbow. After the finals in a display of extreme stamina Mark and Chris then went on to shoot a St George just for fun.
